official Triton language documentation tl.arange end-start power of two constraint
💡 Result:
The official `tl.arange(start, end)` documentation says it returns values in the half-open interval `[start, end)` and requires **`end - start` to be a power of two** (and no greater than 1,048,576). The individual `start` and `end` values do **not** each need to be powers of two—the current docs’ parameter descriptions appear to mistakenly say that. ([triton-lang.org](https://triton-lang.org/main/python-api/generated/triton.language.arange.html?utm_source=openai))
The current implementation confirms the range-length rule: it checks whether `end - start` is a power of two. ([github.com](https://github.com/triton-lang/triton/blob/main/python/triton/language/semantic.py?utm_source=openai))

Guard non-power-of-two channel dimensions before Triton dispatch.
When Triton inference is enabled, gie_zonal_scatter passes radial.shape[2] directly as constexpr C. Both kernels call tl.arange(0, C), but Triton requires the range length to be a power of two. A valid non-power-of-two channel dimension can therefore fail during kernel compilation.
Add a power-of-two guard to both _forward_impl and _backward_impl so unsupported channel dimensions use the reference implementation. Add the same guard when assigning _triton_scatter in GeometricInitialEmbedding. The embedding guard alone does not protect the public gie_zonal_scatter entrypoint. Alternatively, pad C to the next power of two and mask every channel load and store in both kernels.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
The fused Triton path runs in training, but it does not support double backward. The embedding condition does not check self.training. The backward op has no autograd formula, so force-loss training fails when the flag is set.

What
One Triton operator replaces the reference composition of the geometric initial embedding's message path ("broadcast the per-edge zonal coupling over each degree's radial rows, then
index_add-scatter it onto the destination nodes"):(N, D, C)node layout with a zero scalar row. The per-edge message surface —(E, D-1, C), 1.2 GB at the production shape — is never materialized, and it also stops being held until the backward has re-read it, which is where most of the peak-memory win comes from.(E, D-1)coupling and(E, lmax, C)radial) in a single pass; no gather of a materialized message gradient.index_add_addition order, so outputs sit at the usual scatter-order noise floor rather than drifting.Boundary and layout contract
Same operator boundary as the existing CUDA
zonal_scatter(DP_CUDA_INFER >= 1), serving the Triton inference stack instead. Inputs are flattened to contiguous in the traced graph before entering the op (the contract every othersezm_tritonoperator already uses). The kernel specializes on the packed contiguous row layout of thelmax = 3ladder (row groups 3/5/7); any other configuration, dtype or training keeps the reference composition, so the flag is strictly opt-in and the reference path is untouched.The flag is
DP_GIE_SCATTER_INFER, default off, read at module construction.Numbers
DPA4-Neo checkpoint, N=4096 diamond frame, RTX 5090, torch.compile inference, same tree two-state (flag off vs on):
The -1.2 GB peak drop is the removed
(E, 15, 32)message surface. At the kernel level the message build+scatter composites and the backward composite that re-read the saved message (together ~3.4 ms at this edge count) are replaced by a 0.2 ms forward and a 0.5 ms backward kernel.Correctness against the flag-off state: energy rel 7.7e-10, forces rel 1.1e-6 (the established scatter-order noise floor for this benchmark).
Tests
Operator vs reference composition (forward plus shared-cotangent gradients, contiguous and sliced-view radial inputs), CPU reference vs hand-written sequential accumulation, compiled-vs-eager (forward and gradients — this guards the custom-op launch-grid trap), and a module-level two-state check of
GeometricInitialEmbeddingwith gradients.Merge-order note
Touches
embedding.pyandkernels/utils.py, which #6071 also touches (banded Wigner storage); the hunks are disjoint and both directions rebase trivially.Summary by CodeRabbit
